D. is out of town for the week. The house is way too quiet when he's gone and I miss him quite a bit. I am really lucky that my mom is only a four-hour car ride away. She came down yesterday and will spend a few nights here while we shop, watch girl movies and the like. When I consider the move to Michigan, the fact that my mom can't be there in four hours is certainly a point in Albuquerque's favor. She mentioned a trip to the nearby outlet malls and my ears perked up... The last time I went there I did some significant damage to the credit card balances, but who doesn't need a new pair of fall shoes? Or perhaps a new Coach purse?
Speaking of Albuquerque, this week marks the annual Balloon Fiesta. It causes slight madness in the area as our population swells and restaurants get packed. That said, it's fun to look out your window each morning and see countless hot air balloons sailing past. I think my mom and I may head to the "Glowdeo" one night this week when they light up tons of balloons at the same time and illuminate the night sky. It's pretty spectacular. Here's some pictures of the fun from past years:
